SENATE adopts
bill regulating
marriage license
NaIIies „f the Bride and Groom Would
jje Advertised Five Days, Under
Stovall Measure.
Atlanta, Ga.,—The Georgia senate by
v te of 30 to 3 adopted Tuesday the
,
measure of Senator Stovall, of the
twenty-ninth disrict, providing that no
fume license can be issued in Geor¬
,
gia until the names of both prospective
br ide and bridegroom have been placed
lipon bulletin board in the county ordin¬
al y's office for five days in advance
f issuance of the license.
,
The effect of such a measure, accord
jug to Senator Stovall, will be to stop
runaway marriages, prevent persons
f,,,m remarrying, who have not been
legally separated , aid lessening the di
voice evil. The measure now goes to
the house for action.
A hot verbal attack on the laxness of
Georgia divorce laws in which the city
of Atlanta was described by Senator
E p L King, of the Eleventh district,
,
as “the Reno of the South” was launch¬
ed in the senate Tuesday morning,
when a measure seeking to amend the
! resent divorce laws was up for con¬
sideration. The bill was defeated by a
vote of 19 to 17.
Senator King was discussing his bill
providing for elimination of certain
grounds for legal separation including
‘•cruel treatment” and “habitual in¬
toxication” from the divorce laws
when he called to the attention of the
senate that “Georgia divorce laws are
entirely too lax in the granting of sep
arations.”
"The Georgia Courts hold that not
only physical, but mental pain is
ground for a divorce,” he declared.
“If a man takes a drink of liquor—
and there are very few who don’t in
Georgia—his wife can obtain a divorce
on the grounds that her husband is a
habitual drunkard.
“Atlanta is known, far and wide, as
the Reno of the South. Estranged
men and women from all over the
country come here to have their mar¬
tial ties severed. This kind of business
I strikes at the sancity of the home and
the Georgia legislature should put a
stop to it.”
DO YOU EVER STOP
TO THANK DR. GORRIE
In the good old summer time when
you stop by the drug store to get a
cold drink, or when you sit down to
your table in the evening, with a glass
of iced tea, do you ever think about
Dr. John Gorrie?, asks the Pensacola
Fla. News.
Dr. Gorrie lived in Apalachicola and
to hint the world today owes artificial
refrigeration—one of the greatest in¬
ventions that the world has ever
known.
It is impossible to compute the value
of artificial refrigeration to the world.
Think what it means to the sick,
alone. Think of the suffering ones
that its ministrations have helped.
Think of the million of children made
happy with ice cream cones, the bil¬
lions of maidens made happy with sun¬
daes and creams, the billions of men,
with their various favorite delectables.
And think of what it has done for
commerce. Here in Pensacola, for in¬
stance, think what refrigeration has
meant for the fishing industry. Think
of what it has meant all over the coun¬
try to perishables.
Fruits and flowers, meats and all
sorts of products are shipped from one
eml of the country to the other and
hept almost indefinitely, all because
this Florida physician had the brains,
and the vision and faith and the cour¬
age to work on and on, until he had
perfected artificial refrigeration.
hh'. Gorrie’s statue stands in the
hall of fame in Washington. But his
leal reward is in the comfort he has
brought to millions, the luxuries that
he has made possible, even for the
Poor, and the way in which he has
made it practicable for one part of the
world to feed the other part, with its
wealth of ppoduc^, w*hieh otherwise
( ould never have been transported.
Florida has many sons of whom to be
Pioud, but to the memory of Dr. Gorrie
*11 the civilized world must give its
meed of appreciation.

THE MOUNTAIN STILL
By H. Yarbrough in Calhoun Times
Wild flowers and honeysuckle
Perfume the evening air
With fragrance like an incense
Arising everywhere.
An eight gallon still tinkles
Beneath the wooden floor
Celar fiffed with jugs and bottles
To hold the “mountain dew.”
The sprouting rye is ready
The meal is in the tub
Fumes from the beer stand
Come oozing thru the floor.
No smoke is curling thru the stove
flue
No checkered window light
Bespeaks of folks content and tired
Deputy Marshal not in sight.
Will they ever bow in prayer
Will they feel and know
That God is looking at them
While their children grow.

He was no traveling man. That

consolidated ticket office.
‘Let me have sleeping car accom¬

said the man, approaching the clerk
cautiously.
‘For a single passenger?” asked the
clerk, smiling.
‘No,” replied the man. “I’m mar¬
ried, but I am not taking anybody
with me. A single shelf will answer
I suppose.”
“Upper or lower?” again asked the
clerk.
“What’s the difference?” asked the
passenger.
“A difference of about $4.” answer
ed the clerk.
The passenger paused as he fum¬
bled his money, and the clerk ex¬
plained:
“You understand, of course, the low¬
er is higher than the upper. The high¬
er price is for the lower berth. If
you want it lower, you'll have to go
higher. We sell the upper lower than
the lower. In other words, the higher
is lower.”
“Why do they all ask higher for the
lower?” asked the man.
“On account of its convenience,” re
plied the clerk hastily. “Most persons
don’t like the upper, although its

Negro Pastor In Alabama
Church On Rampage
Lineville, Ala.—Throe members of
the Lineville negro Methodist church
are in serious condition today as a re¬
sult of an alleged knife attack upon
them by their pastor, ,T. G. Ivey, Sun
day, during a service at which the pre¬
siding elder of the district, Rev. W.
Allen, was a guest and the officiating
minister.
Police learned that the pastor ob
jected to the choice of Presiding El
der Allen for an organist for the ser
vice. The woman responded to the
call of the presiding elder, officers
said, and Rev. Ivey began to smash the
organ. The organist’s husband, Clyde
Mosely, took a hand. Rev Ivey set up
on him with a knife and inflicted se¬
vere wounds. Two other male members
of the congregation went to the organ
ist’s aid and they too, were severely
slashed.
Pandemonium reigned in the church
until police and citizens of the town
took a hand. Rev. Ivey was placed in
jail at Ashland to await the outcome
of the injuries of the three men. One
sergeon exhausted himself trying to
repair the injury done by the pastor
and called a second surgeon to aid him
“The Kiss That Counted.”
I kissed her in the moonlight,
I kissed her in the dark,
I kissed her in the parlor,
I kissed her in the park,
I fooled the other fellow,
I left him in the lurch,
I kissed her almost everywhere—
But he kissed her in the church.

THE DIVINE GIFT
“I am afraid doctor, said the wo¬
man to a physician she had cornered
at a reception, “that my husband has
some terrible mental affliction, some
time I talk to him for hours and then
discover that he hasn't heard a word
I said.’
“That isn’t affliction, madam, was
the weary reply, “that’s a divine gift.”
